- I believe this poem to be really focused on the prompt of space. I got a real relaxed feeling from the words and like the author created a place of peace in their mind which is "their space" to escape to. I think the wording was very poetic and descriptive and offered me varied images through out reading. It created a scene of nature and calm and almost like a child-like view of how heaven is and what life will be like. The image I got from the first line alone was a young flower stretching their petals as they awake and touching all the beauty that surrounds them. Very beautiful. The wording was well thought out and the poem flowed from start to finish without flaws. I also like the title choice and how this author is claiming this space as their own, very creative choice to use for the topic given. I enjoyed reading this.

I don't remember this one from the contest? Thought I had read them all but I'm sure I would have rememberd this one if I'd read it!

The picture you have painted in my head is of someone in a meadow just twirling and swirling...skirts, perhaps billowing out as you do so...I'm thinking a child here because you use such innocent words like marshmallows and rainbows but..at the end I just thought of an adult trying to re-find memories of a long time ago...just glad to be in familiar surroundings is what I felt in the end?
